Episode 59 – Metagamer Live Interview (3)
Newton's proposal was groundbreaking.
A situation where 5 million won was paid as a deposit for the question.
Neither Shin Hye-rim nor the viewers had any doubts that Lee Kyung-bok would immediately accept the offer.
But Lee Gyeong-bok did not answer.
'Are you going to reject me? No, you aren't.'
Even though it wasn't her business, Shin Hye-rim felt anxious. So when Lee Kyung-bok turned his eyes to her, it was a natural reaction for her body to flinch.
“Mr. Shin?”
"yes yes?"
“Is it okay if I proceed with this? I’m worried that there might not be enough time for the interview.”
Lee Kyung-bok answered calmly. Even though he had 5 million won in front of him, he didn't show any signs of greed.
Shin Hye-rim came to her senses when she saw that sight.
‘Wow… … The distribution is really different.’
She felt that Lee Kyung-bok was a real professional. He made everyone aware that this broadcast was not just his.
'As expected, this is a streamer who has experience in social life.'
Shin Hye-rim: Personally, I don't think it would be a problem if we proceeded with it right away. However, 'metagamers' might be offended.
Isn't it like adjusting the interview time arbitrarily without consultation? If it had just been done, someone might have found it 'uncomfortable' and found fault with it.
But the question just now put the responsibility for the situation back on himself.
'It is the responsibility of the reporter in charge to judge the situation on the spot.'
Shin Hye-rim nodded quickly.
“Yes, it’s okay.”
“Yes, thank you for your understanding, reporter and metagamer.”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled brightly at that answer.
'There's no reason for metagamers to reject it either.'
Lee Kyung-bok's question was purely a polite question to prevent trouble.
He was confident that Metagamer would accept this offer.
Wasn't the reason it got so much attention because of the match with Newton? But the questions and answers between the two main characters are being broadcast live?
'You wouldn't want to miss a scoop like this right before your eyes.'
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at the situation that was going as expected and sent a message to Choi Byeong-hun.
[>Really? You're going to do that? Okay lol]
[>Settings completed lol]
Lee Kyung-bok smiled even more deeply at the reply he received.
“The sponsorship is open. Please feel free to ask questions.”
The chat window also became abuzz with the answer.
-Can I sponsor now?
-No;;; Be careful!
-If you sponsor me, I'll be pushed!
-You're interrupting the broadcast!
-Support me after you're done!
Some viewers want to support him now, while others try to discourage them.
But the commotion was brief. The chat room was soon filled with laughter.
-Ugh lol I can't do it anyway, the minimum amount is 500,000 won lol
-What is it?
-Oh my gosh, it's true, lol
-Have you opened your eyes to the wave of capitalism again?
-What about 500,000 won for one video sponsorship?
-I gave you 5 million won and you took it again!
-Ah haha that's the price of the question ticket! The price of the question ticket is separate!
-As expected, it's a [black company]!
-How many Newtonian questions can I ask for this price? Lol
Although sponsorship was open, the minimum sponsorship amount was limited to 500,000 won.
Originally, the amount for video sponsorship was calculated based on the length of the video, but now it is 500,000 won per session.
['Newton' donated '500,000' won worth of video.]
The video sponsorship came right in as if to mock the viewers' concerns. The viewers couldn't hide their surprise after seeing the video.
-A one-minute video?
-Burning 500,000 won per minute?
-I beat it, I beat it.
-This is… a golden spoon?
-What on earth is your identity?
Lee Kyung-bok played the video.
The content of the video was the first meeting between Newton and Lee Kyung-bok.
[I'll wait, so switch to the main gun]
The message Newton delivered after killing the sniper and facing Lee Kyung-bok. Lee Kyung-bok responded as follows.
[Just go for it]
-Crazyㅋㅋㅋ It's still funny even when I watch it againㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-What kind of insincere answer is that!

-No tension at all ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah lol, you can win without changing guns, so why change them?
Viewers expressed satisfaction as they recalled those times.
['Newton' donated '500,000' won.]
[Why didn't you change weapons at that time? Did you think I was going to hit you in the back of the head?]
The messages of support that followed made Shin Hye-rim and the viewers realize what they had overlooked.
“… … Not 500,000 won, but 1 million won!”
The fact that the video and the questions are separate. In reality, the price of one question was one million won.
“Well, that’s the same answer I gave back then. I thought I would win even if I just did it. At the time, I didn’t even know what their true identity was.”
However, Lee Kyung-bok simply shrugged his shoulders and answered. That was the end of it.
-Captain! The Purge is now 100% charged!
-It's only purple!
-What the hell is that Thousand Horse Death Beam? Lol
-???: I feel ashamed that I paid a million won to hear this kind of answer… …
-330,000 won per sentence lol
-Are you saying that you can pay off a thousand pieces of gold with just those words?
-He is the king of words~
-That's what you meant, lol
Despite the viewers' ridicule, Newton paid no attention and sponsored the next video, this time featuring shooting scenes from both sides.
['Newton' donated '500,000' won.]
[How did you keep me at bay with a shotgun without any attachments? You couldn't have found the exact location.]
This question changed the mood of the chat room.
-Oh, I'm kind of curious about this.
-It was raining heavily and getting dark because of the monsoon.
-It was difficult to secure a field of vision and not be able to use the supply.
At that time, due to the climate effect of 'Monsoon' on Kunas, the background map, heavy rain poured down with dark clouds. The sound of pouring rain, heavy raindrops, and darkened visibility caused both sides to suffer penalties.
At least Newton's shotgun had the help of a scope, which was a gun attachment, but Lee Gyeong-bok's shotgun had no attachment.
Moreover, Newton's seat was constantly changing locations, but even in such a situation, Lee Gyeong-bok fired precise suppressive fire at the surrounding area.
'It's thanks to my miracle, but I can't explain it and you won't understand.'
Not only Newton, but also the viewers are expecting an answer. Lee Kyung-bok took a moment to think about his words before opening his mouth.
“I could tell because your skills were really good.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Countless question marks appeared in the chat window. And Shin Hye-rim, who was next to him, couldn't hold it in any longer and asked.
“As you can see from the video, it was definitely difficult to secure visibility. However, the concealment points are distinguishable.”
Lee Kyung-bok continued his explanation by manipulating the video that came in as a sponsor.
“Being skilled has many meanings, but one of them is making the best choice. As you can see, the situation was favorable for Newton. So rather than hiding in the building, they actively targeted me.”
Shin Hye-rim nodded as if possessed. In fact, in the video, Newton's seat appeared to be pressuring Lee Kyung-bok.
“It’s easy if you just grab the first point. Once I fire suppressive fire on the side where the gunshots are heard, the other side has no choice but to dodge. Then, I check the surrounding points.”
“What’s the point?”
“Yes. They are good spots for cover. I just keep the best spots in my head.”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled leisurely and looked at the camera. He smiled at Newton's seat beyond the camera.
“I believed that someone of your skill level would get to that point. And he actually did.”
The chat window was abuzz with the answer.
-You said it was so good that you could have predicted it?
-Well, Newton's skills are a bit lacking.
-I can't deny that lol
-Is this a fight between heaven and earth? What on earth did I do…?
-Ah haha, it's like bouncing around in the deep sea!
-It's even more shocking that it's all in the palm of God's hand.
-It's more surprising that you grasped all the points in that short moment.
-If you can predict where it will go, it will be easier to respond.
The viewers' admiration continued.
'Is it over already?'
Perhaps because Newton's seat also had something to think about, unlike before, the video sponsorship did not follow right away.
Shin Hye-rim also glanced at him, as if she had noticed the fact.
But soon a third question came.
"and……."
Shin Hye-rim exclaimed after watching the video. The video she sponsored this time was the scene where Lee Kyung-bok threw a shotgun and blocked a bullet.
-It's still crazy even when I look at it again lol
-It wasn't a coincidence, was it?
-No, if you look at the highlights, it's thrown before it explodes
-Crazy lol Is it possible to aim for that?
-Possible (purple) Impossible (tres)
-Fact)
['Newton' donated '500,000' won.]
[If I had one more bullet, I would have died. Why did I suddenly take on this adventure?]
Lee Kyung-bok burst out laughing at the word adventure. In reality, wasn't that an action that he took after calculating the number of remaining ammunition?
'It might look that way to other people.'
But to those who don't know the inside story, it might seem like a kind of gamble.
“It’s not an adventure. It’s more of a question of trust.”
The chat window was once again filled with doubts at the answer that came out after a while. Why was the word trust suddenly mentioned?
“You demanded team kills and equipment swaps to make the conditions fair. If your goal was simply to win, that would not have happened. I judged that what you wanted was not simply to win.”
Newton was different from the average sniper. Although it was a short time, Lee Kyung-bok figured out Newton’s personality.
“The goal was to show that I had the upper hand over my opponent. I was calculating my remaining ammunition based on the gunshots. And at that moment, I had three bullets left, and I was sure that if I charged, I would not avoid the fight.”
“You counted the bullets… … ?!”
Shin Hye-rim opened her eyes wide and muttered, then covered her mouth in surprise. Lee Kyung-bok smiled and continued explaining.
“The rest is related to what I answered earlier. I felt that your aim was optimized as well.”
Newton's movements were aimed at the head and hands with machine-like precision. It was difficult to attribute them to mere talent.
“Your reaction speed is the fastest I’ve ever faced. If you want to shorten the time between recognizing an enemy and firing, you’ll have to shorten your thinking time. I imagine it would have taken a tremendous amount of effort.”
That was one of the reasons he was interested in Newton. He wondered how far she had trained herself.
“But if you know where to aim, it’s easy to stop them. So it wasn’t a risk, it was a calculated response.”
-No;;; You figured it all out in that short amount of time?
-Why is explaining so s*xy?
-Even the lecture [was][pecked][t]ed!
-It wasn't just his physical strength that was outstanding!
-There's a reason for everything you do well!
-Even if I had the physique of a god player, I don't think I could think like that lol
-I just shot him because he looked so innocent… …
-???: Hehehe! It's the enemy! Shoot!
-Why are you suddenly dropping your level? LOL
The chat window was filled with admiration. Lee Kyung-bok's eyes widened at the reaction.
“Isn’t this how you play games? Don’t you all think while playing?”
-Do you understand, Professor? I'm just a potato that plays games!
-I, I was an idiot!
-You don't know anything lol The hair is just for decoration
-It's for decoration, but the design is so surreal that it's a trap lol.
-???: It looks really strange.
-Stop cyberbullying!
-If it was going to be like this, I should have been born as a Dullahan… …
-Durahan, okay lol
This time, I wonder if this will be the last question. The sponsorship did not continue.
Lee Kyung-bok glanced back at Shin Hye-rim. She had also noticed and was about to finish taking viewers’ questions.
The fourth video was played with sponsorship. This time, it was a close-quarters fight between the two sides, and at the end, Lee Kyung-bok took her out with a shotgun.
-Is this the hellish educational material?
-Really ㅋㅋ Even the new devils would be surprised and give up after seeing it
-You really are a bad person lol
-This is an issue that the Human Rights Commission should immediately address.
-Why is the Human Rights Commission here? LOL
Newton's question continued immediately, seemingly oblivious to such ridicule.
['Newton' donated '500,000' won.]
[I reacted ahead of everyone in close combat. Is this because of optimization?]
Lee Kyung-bok read the message and let out a small laugh.
“Oh, I think this is a bit too self-conscious. You’re good at shooting, but not so good at close combat.”
-Ugh hahahahahahaha
-You're saying this is how you turn it?
-What's your personality? Hahahahahaha
-Newton's face must have turned red right now lol
-Let's put all of this on the metagamer article lol
-I think you're wrong, lol
-They properly stuffed my dark history, lol
Lee Kyung-bok waved his hand at the chat window response.
“Hey, of course I’m joking. I meant that you’re better at shooting. And to answer your question… … well, I guess I’ll give you an example from boxing that I learned.”
With those words, Lee Gyeong-bok took a stance.
“Even if you use a weapon, it is your body that moves first. And to properly apply force, you need a preparatory movement. Let me show you briefly.”
Lee Kyung-bok interrupted her words and struck straight like lightning. Shin Hye-rim opened her mouth in surprise at the sight.
“You see? The representative moving parts are the shoulders and waist. They rotate around the body’s axis and apply force.”
-This is really true.
-I learned boxing too, and that's true.
– Waist strength is more important than arm muscles ㅋㅋㅋ
-Aren't all of the above people just jumping rope?
-Ah haha I know this too (I don't know)
The chat room was filled with people pretending to know. Lee Kyung-bok continued his explanation with a smile.
“But there is one more thing you can know in advance.”
At those words, the chat window filled with question marks. Lee Kyung-bok did not answer right away.
Viewers immediately knew what that meant.
-What are you guys who pretend to know doing? LOL
-Godple, you are the one who keeps discipline!
-Don't open your mouth for no reason, that's what I'm saying lol
-I won't pretend to know you again!
-Was it really that fast?
-Embroider yourself and find light quickly ㅋㅋㅋ
-Are you going to do an autopsy?
In the noisy chat window, Lee Kyung-bok snickered and opened his mouth again.
“Just kidding. Back to the point, there is an organ that moves first, even if you are not conscious of it. It is the eye. More precisely, the direction of the gaze.”
After saying that, Lee Kyung-bok relaxed his posture and pointed to Newton's seat in the video.
“If you look here, you can see that his eyes roll back before he attacks. He’s so ‘honest’ that it’s hard to turn away.”
“Oh, really.”
Shin Hye-rim muttered without realizing it. Lee Kyung-bok looked at the camera again.
“Of course, it’s hard to change. This is natural. First, you have to learn to deceive your own body.”
-Trick yourself? How do you do that?
-I don't know
-Is it a false hunger or something?
-Ah haha it's the placebo effect
-The tricksters will do whatever it takes to mobilize everything they know lol
-Really lol You can't even properly understand your own body, so how can you lie?
-???: Body, I won't really cause you any trouble, so guarantee it!
-No lol is that what it means to lie?
The chat window was a crucible of chaos.
But I think I realized something.
['Newton' donated '1,000,000' won.]
[As expected, asking directly was the right answer. This is a token of my appreciation. Next time, I will win.]
It was a message of support that hinted at the end.
“Ten million won… … !”
Shin Hye-rim's eyes widened as if they were going to pop out. A deposit of 5 million won, 4 questions, and a final thank you.
Newton paid a total of 10 million won in sponsorship.
'This is a real scoop.'
It became an issue that Newton's seat was assessed at 1 million won, but an amount 10 times that amount was paid.
This means that Lee Kyung-bok's value has doubled.
Viewers also sensed this fact.
-Wow! Ten million won for one coaching session!
-Ransom ㅎㄷㄷ Hanu
-It's cheap for something that's just been given a trust.
-Trust, okay lol
-But this is only valuable to those who understand it lol
-Really ㅋㅋ If you're a troll, you wouldn't understand even if I gave you 100 million
-My chest hurts so much… …
Lee Kyung-bok returned to his seat and looked back at Shin Hye-rim. Shouldn’t he now proceed with the remaining interview?
“Hey, Purple.”
"yes."
“But is it okay for you to tell me in such detail? From the message, it seems like you are preparing for revenge.”
The chat window also agreed with Shin Hye-rim's question. If you think about it, isn't it like helping the enemy?
However, Lee Gyeong-bok looked at her as if he found something strange.
“Didn’t you give that answer?”
"yes?"
“No matter how many times I do it, I always win.”
-Ah hahaha this is it!
-Really lol I'm going to win anyway so what's the big deal about telling you!
-Sniff sniff! 100% pure fur coat! So good!
-It's a confidence party!
-Jumooooo! Give me a bowl of Ppopong!
The chat window was in a festive mood.
And the number of viewers enjoying the festival exceeded 8,000.
'It seems like there was more influx after hearing that Newton had arrived.'
Lee Kyung-bok continued, satisfied with the number.
“If I may add a little more selfishness, I hope my skills will improve.”
"yes?"
“It was the most fun I’ve ever had playing a game.”
He liked difficult things better than easy ones.
* * *
“Okay, it’s time to ask the last question.”
The live interview is coming to an end.
“After watching the interview today, I think I understand why you are loved by so many people. Do you have any plans for the future to continue this love?”
“It’s a plan.”
Lee Kyung-bok tilted his head slightly.
“In fact, thanks to the love I’ve received in a short period of time, I’ve been receiving a lot of offers. However, I feel the need to be careful. For the time being, I plan to focus on the shows I like.”
“I think that’s a perfect answer! We couldn’t show you Purple’s play during today’s interview. For the sake of the viewers who gathered here, can you give us a preview of the next broadcast content?”
“Oh, yes. I have a new game in mind.”
The chat window lit up at Lee Kyung-bok's words.
-Please, Roa! Let's go Roa!
-Just take a picture of Outlaw Universe once!
-Oreno turn! It's a duel!
-Hold your breath until you get to the end!
-I think Gombo game would be okay too lol
-What about extreme sports? Riders Nation is good!
-What are you forcing on people's tastes?
-Ah haha, Godple is doing what he wants!
Lee Kyung-bok smiled as he watched the viewers' passionate claims.
“The next game is… … .”
Everyone was focused on what was going to come out of his mouth.
“The latest in the Elden series, Elden Soul!”
-Oh lol I tore it.
-I knew you'd say this when you found a difficult game!
-The Elden series that Godple is doing? I can't stand this.
-It looks like a real mess lol
-My mouth is watering already lol
The chat room was filled with anticipation for the next broadcast.
'Newton is probably still watching the broadcast.'
Lee Kyung-bok was confident.
As he has a strong desire to win, he puts in time and effort to win. Understanding his opponents is a given.
“Of course, it wouldn’t be fun if we just did it. I will allow all intrusions. Come back after learning what you learned today.”
The atmosphere in the chat room became even more heated as Lee Kyung-bok continued speaking.
-ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋ Public sniping allowed?
-What is that spirited thing!
-It turns out that Paekgi was fighting against dark spirits lol
-Ah lol all the dead are dead now
-The dark spirits, Dom Hwangcha!
Purple's remark, and that of none other than herself, brought another person to mind for the viewers.
-Is that what you said to Newton?
-Oh lol, isn't this an invitation?
-Gotple vs. Newton? A rematch in Elden Soul?
-Gotdaenyu 2nd round lol
-I have to watch the live broadcast of Invincible Ticket ㅋㅋㅋ
It was a satisfying ending to the interview for everyone.
